Purpose: To mitigate the risks presented by Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), the US FAA and other government agencies internationally soon will require, and various bodies are drafting standards for, remote identification. ASTM's proposed Broadcast Remote ID specifies how Unmanned Aircraft (UA) within Line Of Sight (LOS) of an observer can use a one-way RF broadcast to identify themselves and provide other latency-sensitive safety-critical information. ASTM's proposed Network Remote ID specifies how this same information can be obtained, starting from an observed UA's location, via the Internet. All such proposals hinge on a unique ID for each UA, a method whereby this ID (along with operator contact information etc.) can be registered, and a method by which a subsequent ID assertion can be authenticated by authorized parties. Network RemoteID uses the Internet to map current aircraft locations to identities. To avoid being deceived by malicious spoofing of these critical mappings, we need strong authentication. To maintain privacy (from unauthorized eavesdroppers, not from legitimate authorities), we need strong encryption. HIP provides both of these. Thus, we propose to consolidate the 4-tuple of (UA ID, UA physical location, UA onboard host ID, UA onboard host logical location [IP address list]) to a 3-tuple by standardizing the HIP Host Identity Tag (HIT) as a 4^th RemoteID type. Depending upon the level of adoption by a given UAS operator, this can provide 3 levels of benefit: 1. Use of the Internet Domain Name System (DNS, the world’s largest distributed database, with well-established update procedures) as a RemoteID registry 2. Strong authentication of not only Network RemoteID but also Broadcast RemoteID messages 3. Rapid establishment of authenticated and encrypted communications with any observed UA that is suitably equipped.
